Ugo Mulas’s New York: The New Art Scene, published in 1967, documents New York’s burgeoning art scene of the 1960s. Mulas focused on the personalized workspaces of a selection of then rising artists, aligning his approach with Barnett Newman’s definition of a scene, “the scene is the artist working in his studio; everything else depends on this.” Part documentary and part voyeuristic photography, Mulas’s work is especially relevant today given increased interest with photography that is a window into presumably private spaces.
*artists and studios in above spreads, in descending order: Lee Bontecou, Jasper Johns, Kenneth Noland, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, James Rosenquist, and Larry Poons.
